Like past movies, everyone assumes the 2014 Transformers BotCon will return to Pasadena, CA to support the Transformers Age of Extinction Movie that will be out in July 2014.

We are hearing word there could be a June event booked at both the Sheraton and Pasadena Convention center that may be BotCon 2014. Nothing has not been said by Fun Publications at this time so take this as a rumor until the official announcement is made.
